Monticello school district board votes to merge with Wayne County

MONTICELLO, Ky. (WKYT) - Auntrea Burchett has three children in the Monticello school district. On Tuesday she learned that the school board voted Monday night to dissolve itself, and merge with Wayne County.

“We got up and were told there had been a meeting, and it was a vote of 3-2 to consolidate the schools. A complete shock,” said Burchett in hearing news of the planned merger.

“As of now we have more expenditures than we do revenue,” said Monticello superintendent Gary Abbott.
